The Guernsey Scottish Association was formed after the
Second World War to promote interest in, and enjoyment of, all things
Scottish.

The first members included native Scots who had come to
work in Guernsey and Guernsey folk who had developed links with Scotland
through the armed forces or from being evacuated to Scotland during the
years of German Occupation.

While the composition of membership has inevitably
changed over the years, the Association continues to be a point of contact
for Scots in Guernsey, and for anyone with an interest in, or association
with Scotland, for friendship and to share in our
culture and heritage.

The Association’s activities have a central focus on
important Scottish festivals such as St Andrew’s Day and Burns’ Night.

There is an active Scottish Dancing group and other
events, with a Scottish flavour, are organized during the year.

The committee is always keen have suggestions for
activities and events from our members.

Membership of the GSA is open to everyone who has an
interest – only the President is required to be a Scot!

Joining is simple, with a small annual membership
fee.

Members receive notice of all the Association’s
activities and benefit from reduced ticket prices for the main events.
